Hi Stéphane, On Fri, 09 Jun 2006 the mental interface of Stéphane Rosi told:

Please notice that users have usb-soundcards which are installed via /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base: install snd-usb-usx2y /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-usb-usx2y \ $CMDLINE_OPTS && /lib/alsa/modprobe-post-install snd-usb-usx2y An entry options snd-usb-audio index=-2 would be counterproductive in that case ;) Please let me know if this works for you, so I can close this bug then. Thanks for reporting Elimar -- Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it!
